I have gotten in the habit of reading the warnings in the instructions that come with items that I purchase. Some are just common sense and others just make you wonder. You know some one had to do this and tried to sue the company or there wouldn't be a warning. Here is an example. I just bought a new weight distribution hitch for my truck. In the instructions under WARNING it states "do not attempt to hook up or tow with a front wheel drive vehicle with rear wheels removed. This will cause severe instability and loss of control" I would pay money to see some one try this as long as no innocent people got hurt :thumbsup:

There's a road construction warning sign that make me laugh every time I see it here in Texas. It reads...Obey Warning Signs State Law.

So we need a warning sign to instruct us to obey the warning signs? Seems a bit redundant. I figure that whoever wrote the warning sign bill has family in the warning sign business.

Bruce I LMAO when I saw that. Now I know why the warning was on there. I don't remember ever seeing that comercial. But then again there are a lot of things from the late 70's early 80's I don't remember :D
